Gnarly California rains

[rts265]

In the past, the West side of our house would flood into the garage during continuous heavy rain events. So last summer I installed gutters the length of the roof line, with a the drain emptying down our driveway. What a glorious site to see that water drain away from the house instead of into the garage. Now why the frack didn't I do it on the East side?

yeah - its quite satisfying to see the gutters work avoiding the garage flooding.

Turns out the new roof we had installed - there was tons of debris in the gutter. My wife told me - oh yeah I saw the gutters weren't working - told her to fng tell me when she sees an issue like that!

^ - You need a child to clean the rain gutters.

One of my yearly jobs growing up was the clean the gutters of the 2nd floor roof extension above the concrete driveway .

Never fell once.

Can't same the same for Hector.

RIP Hector.

I stopped by my 95 yo granny's place one day to find her up on a ladder cleaning out the gutters, while chewing out the maintenance guys on the ground , because as she said, a) they are lazy and b) they do a shitty job.

Both are true but they are cheap as fvck which was her main concern when she hired them...

lmao. there are two other gutters that I am sure are not working but I need a taller ladder - no flood no problem.

It should be noted that I signed it off as Pretend Lumberjack because 1) I am not one and 2) just funning and not being serious

I dig.
I noticed the cable too, thought it was SOP for safety's sake.
My daughter's husband has lived his whole life up on that mountain and culling/clearing these majestic trees is pretty much a common practice.
Except for Axe Men series, I've never seen anyone drop a big tree, let alone someone I know and love. Scares the beejeebus out of me.

My buddies pop worked for the forest service and we would work with him in summers.
cut down more than a few LARGE trees in my time. It can definitely be sketchy

Regarding the use of cables to help direct things, well, yeah, sure, a good thing if you know what you are doing, but like a leash, not much help if you don't have skills:
